But so what if she was underage?
What he had done was what he had done. What's more, he had Chen Lie issue a military order.
Gu Nianzhi didn't have to look to know what was written on the military order …
At that time, he was worried that others would find out, right?
After all, he was still her guardian at that time, and she was indeed underage.
Gu Nianzhi also knew that if Huo Shaoheng's political enemies found out about this, Huo Shaoheng would really be done for.
But she still felt a little sad.
Struggling out of Huo Shaoheng's embrace, Gu Nianzhi lowered her head and turned to leave.
"Where are you going?" Huo Shaoheng grabbed her arm. "It's so late. Sleep here."
He was actually worried that Gu Nianzhi would take things too hard and do something stupid.
After all, Chen Lie's call had left a psychological scar on Huo Shaoheng.
"No, I'm going back to my room to sleep." Gu Nianzhi shook her head stubbornly. "Huo Shao, you're too amazing. You can play a weak woman like me around whenever and wherever you want. I don't dare to hang around in front of you anymore. Who knows when you'll sell me off and I'll even count the money for you!"
What was going on?
The stone in Huo Shaoheng's heart fell to the ground, and then he realized that the stone had fallen on his own feet.
He helplessly followed Gu Nianzhi out to her bedroom.
"Go back. I won't do anything stupid." Gu Nianzhi calmly climbed into bed and pulled the blanket over herself.
Huo Shaoheng didn't hesitate. He turned around to close the door and turn off the lights. He then returned to Gu Nianzhi's bed and lifted the blankets to lie down.
Gu Nianzhi pushed him. "Go back to your room. If Auntie sees this, how am I supposed to live?"
"It's okay. I'll go back to my bedroom before Ms. Song comes out." Huo Shaoheng didn't allow for an explanation. He pulled Gu Nianzhi into his arms. "Go to sleep. I'll wake you up."
Gu Nianzhi had been throwing a tantrum all night and doing something physically exhausting with Huo Shaoheng. She was also exhausted.
She didn't have the strength to push him anymore, so she fell into a deep sleep in his arms.
Huo Shaoheng breathed a sigh of relief when she finally stopped.
Before she went to sleep, she took out her phone and saw that Chen Lie had sent her a series of hanging emojis to express his sincere remorse.
Huo Shaoheng put down his phone and didn't reply to Chen Lie.
…
Gu Nianzhi seemed to have only dozed off for a moment before she saw the sun rise.
As expected, Huo Shaoheng was nowhere to be seen.
She stretched herself and sat up on the bed. The room was filled with sunlight, shining through the white muslin curtains.
After spacing out for a while, Gu Nianzhi lifted the covers and got out of bed. Just then, she heard someone knocking on the door.
Song Jinning's voice came from the door.
Gu Nianzhi quickly went to open the door.
"Good morning, auntie."
Song Jinning was wearing a lake-green cashmere cardigan and white wool pants. She looked at her with a refreshing smile. "Breakfast is ready. You and Shaoheng can go eat. I'm leaving."
Gu Nianzhi pulled Song Jinning in surprise. "Auntie, where are you going? Are you going to give New Year's greetings? "
"I'm not giving New Year's greetings." Song Jinning patted her shoulder. I'm going to the lab. After running a few programs last night, I had a new idea. "
She took out Huo Guanyuan's phone and shook it in front of Gu Nianzhi. "And this one. It's also waiting for me to decrypt it."
Gu Nianzhi watched enviously as Song Jinning left in a hurry, disappearing down the hallway stairs.
After washing up, Gu Nianzhi went downstairs to the dining room. She found Huo Shaoheng already sitting at the dining table, flipping through a newspaper.
Seeing Gu Nianzhi come in, Huo Shaoheng folded the newspaper and placed it on the small table behind him.
"Eat breakfast. I went out to buy it. This beef buns and millet porridge are your favorites." Huo Shaoheng pushed a plate of beef buns the size of an egg to Gu Nianzhi. "After eating, we'll go to General Ji's house to give New Year's greetings."
Gu Nianzhi finished her breakfast in silence.
When she went upstairs to change, Gu Nianzhi objected. "I don't want to go. I don't know them well. Huo Shaoheng, I want to go back to my own home. "
Huo Shaoheng buttoned up his military uniform and said calmly, "Let's go. General Ji knows we're married."
Gu Nianzhi's face flushed again. She glared at Huo Shaoheng angrily. "How many people know about this?!"
"General Ji is the only one in the military who knows, so I have to take you to him for New Year's greetings." Huo Shaoheng buttoned up his uniform and buckled his belt. "Don't worry. No one else knows. I told General Ji, and he promised to keep it a secret. "
Gu Nianzhi breathed a sigh of relief, but still asked suspiciously, "You're not lying to me this time, are you? I really don't want to be played like a monkey again. "
Huo Shaoheng nodded calmly. "No, only General Ji and Secretary Cao know we're married. And Chen Lie and Zhou Qiyuan. These four people aren't blabbermouths. "
Even Yin Shixiong and Zhao Liangze didn't know.
Gu Nianzhi pouted. "Chen Lie isn't blabbermouthed? I think I know a fake Chen Lie. "
Huo Shaoheng curled his lips. "Don't worry. I'll make sure he remembers this time."
Gu Nianzhi felt very uneasy when she heard his threatening words.
She hesitated and reluctantly pleaded for Chen Lie. "Brother Chen didn't mean it. He's very reliable most of the time."
"It's not enough to be reliable most of the time." Huo Shaoheng appeared very serious. "You have to be reliable all the time. Chen Lie is obviously lacking. "
Gu Nianzhi was speechless.
Forget it. She had tried her best.
Thinking about how Chen Lie and Huo Shaoheng were also hiding things from her, Gu Nianzhi felt a little unhappy.
Huo Shaoheng turned to persuade her again. "But how long are you going to hide our marriage? Why don't you take the opportunity to bring some wedding candies? "
Gu Nianzhi almost rolled her eyes 360 times in her mind.
Giving some wedding candies during the New Year and he thought she was married?
Sorry, I, Gu Nianzhi, am not that cheap.
Gu Nianzhi sat down and didn't leave. "If you want to bring wedding candies, go yourself. I won't admit it anyway."
"I was just mentioning it. If you don't want to, then forget it." Huo Shaoheng pulled her up. "Hurry up and get changed. We're running out of time."
Gu Nianzhi took a deep breath and walked to her room.
Fortunately, she had brought a few decent clothes with her.
Because it was the New Year, Gu Nianzhi changed into a bright red cashmere sweater and wore a peacock blue seawater pearl necklace.
The pearl necklace was the size of a pinky finger. It reflected the bright red cashmere sweater and complemented each other.
Huo Shaoheng was still in his military uniform. He put on a wool military coat and went out with Gu Nianzhi.
…
On the first day of the New Year, the military compound where General Ji lived was bustling with people.
Gu Nianzhi followed Huo Shaoheng into the private courtyard where General Ji lived.
Before they even entered, they could hear waves of laughter coming from inside.
"Shaoheng, what a coincidence. You're also here to pay New Year's greetings to General Ji." Speaker Long's voice came from behind.
Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng turned around and saw Speaker Long and a few people getting out of the car.
Gu Nianzhi was very familiar with one of them. It was Special Assistant Yang.
